Nathan hypothesized that if the temperature of liquid water increased, the density would decrease because the volume would increase. He collected the data in the table below.
Answer
A
The data support his hypothesis, so he should investigate if the same change happens in the density of solid water.B
The data do not support his hypothesis, so he should investigate the effect of temperature on the density of a different substance.C
The data do not support his hypothesis, so he should investigate why the density is greatest at 4°C.D
The data support his hypothesis, so he should investigate the effect of density on the volume of a different substance.
